So I'm nearly out of my Salifert tests for CA and MG. I've been considering the AF test kits... Anyone have first hand experience with these? How do you like them?

I have both of these AF test kits , and they both seem reasonably accurate and easy to use. I'm using them on a newish tank that had some LPS and SPS frags added a few weeks ago.

Both kits were testing in line with what I would expect from the salt mix, and both picked up fairly subtle drops in CA and MG after the frags were added. Not exactly a peer reviewed double blind study lol, but I can say "so far, so good" with some confidence...

I have used the AF kh and that is spot on inline with my icp and its easy to tell becuase of the colour change having and extra step than salifert. I hear good things about cal and mag from friends. Although the phos and nitrate are poor
